The layered glass technique is a full-fledged medium of artistic expression, through which one can create various size sculptures - from small, table-size objects to multi-storey building-size sculptures. The layered glass technique may at first glance be misleading with its apparent simplicity, but it is solid artillery of mental and physical skills, and knowledge, that it hides under its unpretentious name. The application and study of these is the only way for the artist to achieve the desired visual aesthetics of the layered glass artwork, ensuring its quality and durability.

About Glasstone · 2021/08/27
Looking after glass monuments is easy! Our glass memorial monuments are not only durable but also very modest when it comes to maintenance. Characteristics of glass, such as density and non-porousness, prevent dirt from settling and moss growth. Therefore, taking care of a glass headstone is easier and less time consuming than taking care of its stone and granite counterparts.

A beautiful glass monument in the shape of a grand piano dedicated to the brilliant pianist Jautrīte Putniņa. She wrote in her diary: “Music is like a religion to me. The sound of music is my promised land. I feel safe. Protected. Happy. Needed. I do not doubt that there is eternal life – music convinces me of it every day. It is like the only bridge that connects this mundane world with the afterlife…”
